(AMT: McLean, VA) -- Shipments of cutting tools, as measured by the Cutting Tool Market Report compiled in a collaboration between the Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI), totaled $183.1 million in November 2024. Orders decreased 13.8% from October 2024 and were down 9.7% from November 2023. Year-to-date shipments totaled $2.25 billion, down 0.3% from shipments made between January and November 2023.
